There are so many people who think and consider self esteem to be a complicated emotion. They think and feel that children are not affected by self esteem and that; they are not very matured to understand this whole world of self esteem. At a certain level, it is mostly assumed that children do not understand the whole idea of self esteem. However, to make such an assumption that they are ignorant and have nothing to do with self esteem is a big mistake. Children are human and they also have emotions which mean they are also affected by self esteem issues no matter their age. When children are shown true and endless love, care and respect; they are able to achieve more than just the ordinary.

Where children are concerned self esteem is mostly not considered to be a serious issue.
